I used to work at an Internet company where we would let our female receptionist test all our brand new websites. It worked flawlessly, because she represented the "average" visitor perfectly!

A friend brought it in at a book share evening at the local UPA cluster and I absorbed it over the next hour. Overnight it demystified my understanding and changed my approach (much for the better) when it comes to creating personas.
